FACÈRÉ JEWELRY ART GALLERY presents "Louder than Words" from February 5 through March 5, 2014. The
exhibit explores contrasts and communions between the visual language of jewelry art with the literary
language of the printed page. Pieces, like David LaPlantz's "EVOL/Reflection/LOVE, Action that Reflects – Love
is a Call to Action" brooch, include words within the piece to communicate a message. In LaPlantz's case,
the word love is reflected, like across a mirror, and punctuated by a heart in the middle of the O as symbolism
combined with ornamentation. The work in this exhibition takes words, either as literal inclusion, or as symbolic
representation, to express that what is seen can be more powerful than what is read. Also shown on left and
right are "ORA, LEGE, LEGE, LEGE, RELEGE, LABORA ET INVENIES" by Carolyn Tillie and "6/4" by Cynthia Toops.
